Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Increasing corn production can currently only be achieved through intensification, where the key is efficiency. Stagnant corn production in the research village over the past three years indicates inefficient use of inputs in corn farming. The first objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of corn farmers. Second, to analyze the allocation of input use by examining the effect of land area, seeds, organic fertilizer, urea fertilizer, phonska fertilizer, NPK fertilizer, pesticides, and labor on corn production. Third, to analyze the technical, allocative, and economic efficiency of input use in corn farming in Dengkol Village. METHODS This study conducted in Dengkol Village, Singosari Subdistrict, Malang Regency used quantitative methods. Data were collected through interviews with all 40 corn farmers. This primary data was analyzed using multiple regression with the Cobb Douglas production function approach to identify inputs that significantly affect corn production. Technical, allocative, and economic efficiency were calculated using their respective formulas and the results were then justified according to applicable criteria. FINDINGS The results show that only land area and pesticide volume have a significant and positive effect on corn production, while the other six inputs do not. Technical inefficiency stems from the use of land area, seeds, NPK fertilizer, and labor. Meanwhile, the use of all inputs contributes to allocative and economic inefficiency. CONCLUSION Corn production can increase if farmers focus on expanding their land and adding pesticides. Farmers should change the combination of inputs that can technically increase production at a lower cost in order to increase their profits. The government and the private sector can facilitate farmers so that their efforts can be achieved. This study is limited to one village and is cross-sectional in nature, so it cannot describe the conditions of villages with different characteristics and the dynamics of change over time.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Farmers in Bulukerto Village generally sell their coffee in red or semi-dried pods to middlemen. As a result, they receive a much lower price than if they sold it as green or roasted beans. Farmers also lack understanding of standard post-harvest processing techniques and have not optimally utilized coffee processing tools and machinery. Low selling price, limited post-harvest knowledge, dependence on middlemen, and minimal use of technology are the main challenges faced by coffee farmers. The added value of coffee products is largely determined by post-harvest processing, whether through dry (natural) or wet (semi-washed and full-washed) processing. This study aims to analyze the added value and yield of Arabica coffee in Rekesan, Bulukerto Village, Batu City, East Java, and identify the determining factors. METHODS: Data were collected from all Arabica coffee farmers belonging to a forest farmer group in Bulukerto Village, who implemented three post-harvest handling methods for harvested coffee beans. The population consisted of 20 farmers. Coffee bean yield was calculated using the applicable standard formula, and the added value of coffee beans was analyzed using the Hayami method. Meanwhile, factors influencing added value through the Cobb-Douglas production function approach were analyzed using a multiple linear regression model. FINDINGS: The study revealed that coffee bean yield and added value varied depending on the post-harvest handling methods employed by farmers. The highest yield and added value were achieved through the natural method. Factors influencing added value also varied depending on the post-harvest handling practices employed by farmers. The number of coffee beans significantly influenced added value, although the relationship was different for the full washed method. CONCLUSION: Natural post-harvest handling produces high yields and added value, but is less popular with consumers. Therefore, an in-depth study of consumer preferences for these coffee beans is necessary. The full washed method requires significantly more labor, but this factor does not significantly impact added value. A limitation of this study is that it does not differentiate coffee beans by plant age, so future researchers could explore this factor
